Laura Pels Ferra

Laura Pels Ferra, a Lisbon-trained painter based in Fife, Scotland, works primarily on paper, embracing a multidisciplinary practice rooted in painting and drawing. She favours gouache for its expressive opacity and strong colour, showcasing a dynamic interplay between meticulous pattern, rhythmic repetition, and lyrical line. Her style balances form and void, blending personal experience with universal motifs, echoing ritual and the improvisational beauty of the ordinary. Laura’s art resonates with curiosity and empathy, urging viewers to reflect on ecological interconnection, transformation, and the quietly powerful beauty found within overlooked materials and moments.
